Original Message:   Czech or French?

The beads at first made me think Czech. The pendant however is more typical of apossible Asian origin but also looks like it could be French, by Rousselet. A closer look at the hole might be able to give a clue. The French made these beads on copper wire, which was then dissolved in acid, while the Czechs used a mandrel with a powder coating. It is also an option that two pieces were combined into one. This jade color and pattern was very popular and very similar between different makers.
